  Arlington, Texas | Pet House Sitting



Hi, my name is Alexandra and I like animals, pets, simply because they are always truthful. They don't have secrets and they show who they truly are quickly.
I currently parent a Siberian Husky, with a double coat so that's even more fun and he is just incredibly enjoyable. I have rarely seen an animal mirror myself so well! I'm his person and he's my dog. Even though he is a little older, my helicopter parenting is ever there no matter how sick of being taken to the vet he may be; sometimes I think he goes just to calm me down & shut me up.
What your pet needs and what you ask of me, I will do to the best of my abilities though I will not do a request at all if I know it is dangerous to an animal. For instance, if a pet parent were to tell me their pet can have an avocado for a treat and expect me to give their pet an avocado or other harmful food as a treat, I would calmly explain why I refuse and did not give them what I and every pet parent should know is very harmful to their babies. Otherwise, after the conversation and any other reasonable, good natured request, I will happily do!
I currently work online or have an online shop and I otherwise spend my time with my dog. When it comes to pet sitting, I really like interacting with other animals/pets because it's like meeting new people! All of them are different in their own special unique way!!

Other skills

I've spent most of my life, 30+ years around animals, even horse and other barnyard animals, so listening to them and connecting on their level can be easy. Something I always take stock of if I am with an animal for an extended amount of time, a day or more, is their stool. I go 1-3 hours or after they have either come inside or a little after they've just finished eating to see how it looks. There is a lot that can be seen and learned from poop.

Summary.

Other than being bound by what the parent(s) ask of me; a day full of walks, pets, treats (if allowed), brushing, napping and if they are water pets(dogs) a man-made puddle playing enjoyment will happen. Of course, they will be nice and dry before their person returned!
